A big me too on the what questions to answer, and knee jerkiness :]

One thing I'm trying is only answering
* direct questions and followups to previous conversation
* questions on packages or features I maintain (xfree web site, squid,
threads)
* the occasional one I can resist - ie fifo & mknod :]

And I'll wait a few hours before answering to see if a non-developing
volunteer will stepup (unless the answer is still in just my head).

My theory is that by only answering the questions I'm _needed_ to answer
duplicates should be reduced.
